deirdre: with me now, kt mcfarland, former reagan defense department assistant secretary. kt, so glad to have you with us on these matters. what is your first thought trump aside? i will get back to that in a minute. on russia, its strategy and basically saying we don't really care what you do, u.s., we're not doing it with you? >> russia just run the table, right? the russians have totally outsmarted and outfoxed obama at every step. it is a lot more than, well they were so much smarter, clever. russians are in a position they can take over middle east. think about it, monday they to to the u.n., say america, this mess in syria is all your fault. by the way your anti-isis coalition is fiasco and a joke. on tuesday the russians announce their alliance, which is russia, iran, iraq and syria. on wednesday send a three-star general, goes into the american embassy in baghdad, says you have an hour to get out of syria, we'll drop bombs. deirdre: barking orders at u.s. >> barking orders at a u.s. defense attache. that is not like a diplomatic slap in the face. that is like a punc

joining us right now for analysis we have kt mcfarland and retired lieutenant colonel ralph peters. kt, i will start here with you. the idea that she's emailing her family one thing and telling the american public something else entirely. that is something that jim jordan took issue with, something you take issue with. >> she was lying. she was telling her inner circle, her family and diplomats, foreign diplomats, we know what it was, in front of the american people and families of four fallen, it was out of control demonstration in response to youtube video. had nothing to do with the youtube video. we don't endorse it, don't condone it. didn't happen. trish: basically blaming video for political spin, we were getting into election cycle? >> yeah i think it was couple things. it was to avoid blame for hillary clinton, state department, administration, why did these people die? how could we prevent youtube video that had nothing to do with us. there was second reason. that attack was just before american election, his campaign rhetoric, reelect me, i killed osama bin laden, al qaeda

here to weigh in, kt mcfarland, fox news national security analyst.ell, first of all, you and i talked about this last week, whether it was possible that they were actually targeting hour allies, the russians. now according to "the wall street journal" they quote a senior official saying there is no question it is intentional, the russian bombing. they know what they are hitting. >> absolutely. you and i got it right last week. why are the russians doing this? they know if they destroy all the moderate opposition, u.s. allies, cia-trained allies, moderate syrian rebels, syria will be left with two choices or world will be left with two. assad staying in power or isis? who are we going to choose? at that point, assad we don't like him, hold our nose but we'll support him. david: kt focus what is happening right now. right now our guys are getting wiped out. our allies are getting wiped out and we're doing nothing to stop it. >> in fact we're doing less than nothing because we and russians are flying in the same airspace and our flights, although we're

. >>> the president did address syria today, kt mcfarland on the fact that the russians don't have the upper hand here. do you agree with him? >> no, in fact i think what he's made clear is he doesn't really clear. he's ceding the entire middle east to the russia/persian alliance. they're going to keep assad in power. they're going to occupy land, that iranians have sent over 100,000 troops, the russians are flying aircraft sortees and obama is in effect saying not my problem. i have got my team. i have got my coalition. russia if you would like to join my coalition, fine, but i'm not going to do anything further. and the great arc of history is on my side. russia you're going to get stuck in a quagmire, so too bad. we're not the only audience. people in moscow are watching this this press conference and people in the middle east are watching this press conference. if you're in moscow what message are you going to take? keep going. united states is not going to stop us. >> donald trump had said as you know, kt that this is something that the russians ought to fight. don't let him do th

colonel ralph peters and security analyst, kt mcfarland. we just heard from josh earnest, about to hear from peter cook, the spokesman at the pentagon. sounds to me, colonel, that you have a white house trying to backpeddle right now. >> first of all i agree with everything you said in your intro, vladmir putin is burning down our strategic house. president obama's position is, just wait. he will run out of matches. listening to josh earnest in that recent presser was embarrassing. he sounded like "baghdad bob," saddam hussein's old spokesman who kept saying things are fine while u.s. tanks are rolling into baghdad. now the white house narrative, they're grasping desperately for narrative, oh, boy, the russians are in trouble now. they can't possibly succeed. they got hammered in afghanistan. this isn't afghanistan. vladmir putin is different breed of cat. the vision of labor, iranian ground force, soviet, what is soviet, russian air power and some russian ground forces. bottom line is very straightforward. putin knows what he is doing. our

kt mcfarland, deputy assistant secretary of defense in the reagan administration, fox news security analyst you, kt, a lot to go through, a lot of headlines of the as we report this, if it is on syrian tv sometimes hard to believe. >> correct. bill: if it is russian media reports it is sometimes hard to believe. let's sift through what we're learning today. iranian forces by hundreds went to syria 10 days ago. >> correct. bill: with intent. >> absolutely and before that, a month ago the leading iranian general went to moscow to cut the deal. so we now have a new alliance in the middle east which is russia, iran, iraq, syria, assad. a shiite crescent throughout the region. they have iranian troops moving back and forth across borders. russian aircraft is in the region. the problem with it, we're not sure where it is going and we're not sure who they are targeting. bill: if it is true in the end we did not know this was happening -- >> everybody thought it was going to happen. bill: did they? >> when the quds force general, iranian general goes, breaks embargo and sanctions and he travels to

walid phares, fox news middle east and terrorism expert, and fox news national security analyst kt kt mcfarland start with you on this turkish thing. this is an ally. they are part of nato, what is going on. >> there is trouble. tom: is there trouble. >> they are in trouble, because the russians use them as a way to insul nato. and to show nato is weak, the russian have flown into turkey airspace twice, the other reason, is that islamic extremism is now spread into turkey. we know that turkey had porous boarder. the third reason they are in trouble is kurds, there is a large and growing kurdish minority in turkey that wants independence. turkey could have a problem from without. and a problem from within. that is the kurds, and a problem in the bigger picture from the russians. tom: dr. walid phares, last night, the president was on 60 minutes, and my y jaw dropped wn he said that biggest problem was not all of this business in the middle east. but climate change. so, the president is pointing out russia is weak, the economy is weak. do you think that this is a show of bravado for vladimir puti

>> this is one of the times that i disagree with kt mcfarland about him walking away.s crawling away like a hamster. but israel first. benjamin netanyahu understands and he has already made his pilgrimage to moscow to try to cozy up to vladimir putin. and obama, tending to look at problems as though it's way over there. and another great advantage in addition to ruthlessness that he has is that he sees the whole picture. this alliance is forged with iran, and iraq, it used to be archives and hezbollah, he is siding with the shiite muslims against the sunni moslems. he is building it is an arc of countries from the mediterranean that will be russia family, dominated by iran and the shiite. and overshadow not just israel but the world's greatest concentration of oil and gas slide. let 'er rip hooton is thinking ahead. president obama is improvising from day-to-day, always reacting. if you don't have the initiative of a guy like this, you are going to lose. lori: especially if you saw him play hockey this week, right? >> russian women eat it up. lori: i was intrigued. i w

to kt mcfarland on what we greatout of that deal and why this reporter wasn't part of that deal. in other words, to free him before we signed on to thing. obviously in retrospect that is was not the case. what happens now? between the missile test and then what has been happening in this wind wind wind reporter -- >> last week, iran -- russia announced an alliance with iran. iran is going to send ground forces, russia is going to provide the air cover to fight in sierra. this is a triple slap in the face. it's designed to humiliate the president. and between the missile test, which may be a violation of the nuke deal, between the iran-russian alliance -- the whole reason for this nuke deal is well may not be the perfect deal but what the friendship of iran and iran is going to cooperate with us on other issues in the middle east. this is a slap in the face. they're not going to cooperate with us. they now joined forces with the russians. >> now, this missile launch today, is that within the program at thes of the deal, what you know of it? what can you tell us? >> well, the missi

syria with humanitarian point of view, but here is what our national security analyst, told us, kt mcfarland. >> russia should just run the table, right? russians totally outsmarted and outfoxed obama at every step. it is a lot more, than, they were so much smarter or clever. the russians are in the position where they will take over the middle east. deirdre: to kt's point, dr. paul, what does it mean if the u.s. doesn't have a presence? does that allow as many described russia, just a bully, to take over? >> well, there certainly ace challenge to us but our presence in the middle east in declaring we're the dictators of the world and we have troops in 152 countries, we're always involved in regime change and backfiring and bankrupting us and helping isis and al qaeda, they're helping iran. i see that the policy is bad. it costs a lot of money and we're involved in many, many other countries. if you look at flags where we have military bases around the world compared to those of russia, you know, i don't think we have to worry that russia is going to invade us but right now, russia has a lot
